I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 130 128. If I could do it all over again, I would choose...

"Is this the first grade garden of Yuan University?"

After getting off the taxi, Xu Xin asked the driver.

The driver nodded:
"It's here hum~"

Saying that, he pointed at a tall building:
"Spicy is Hum."

"……Okay, thank you."

Xu Xin nodded.

In the car, he heard that this place is where celebrities and rich people live, saying that Amei is also here...Xu Xin thought it was the kind of manor surrounded by mountains and rivers...It turned out to be this kind of manor tall buildings.

In fact, along the way, Xu Xin looked at the cityscape of Taipei, and more or less made a rough judgment in his heart...

He has never been to Shanghai, so he doesn't know what the city of Shanghai is like.

But as far as the new streets he has walked so far, the overall luxury of Yanjing feels slightly inferior to that of Taipei.

But that is relative to high-rise buildings.

The streets here... To be honest, except for the main road, the other roads are quite narrow.Some small streets that the taxi passed by during the period gave him the feeling that he had entered a certain village.

Very strange feeling.

Old and new are especially evident in this city.

"Doo~ Hey, Brother Xu, are you here?"

"Yeah, we're going there too, have you seen the big billboard for a Xinyi real estate at the crossroads?"

"Uh……"

Xu Xin looked around and locked on to a rather large billboard:
"I saw it."

"You come there, we'll be there right away. There are more paparazzi here, Brother Xu, we'll pick you up and enter from the parking lot."

"Okay. I'll wait for you on the side of the road under the billboard."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin walked directly over there.

When I came to the crossroads and saw the heavy traffic on the street, I thought of the movie of Brother Pheasant for no reason.

I don't know where it was taken...

And those traditional characters around him gave him a very inexplicable feeling.

Just weird.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, Xu Xin finally saw a nanny car flashing its lights at him.

Then it slowly drove towards him.

The car door opened, revealing the vicissitudes of Jay Chou's face with a peaked cap and untreated stubble.

Although the man has changed a bit, he looks very fine:
"Hey! Wow! When I first called, I thought Dani was making fun of me! Come on, come on!"

Xu Xin got into the car and closed the door. Jay Chou immediately asked:
"Why did you come here suddenly?"

"I want to drink milk tea, so come here."

Xu Xin leaned on the chair, his shoulders slumped a little.

He has been tossing around for a whole day, with two flights plus a car, he is really a little tired.

"Hey, how did you come here?"

"Flying over, how else can you come here?"

"...haha~"

Jay Chou looks really happy:

"Okay, okay, then why don't you bring Mimi?"

"She still has a job there... How much is the flat for this house?"

"About 110 million."

"... 26, 27?"

One said Taiwan dollars, and the other said yuan.

Jay Chou nodded:

"Yes, it belongs to a mansion."

"...It is indeed a mansion, more expensive than where I live."

In terms of unit price, it is indeed much more expensive than Shijia Hutong.

Jay Chou didn't worry about whether the house price was real or not, but asked directly:

"How many days will you stay this time? Hey, it's just right, let me show you around these few days?"

"Farewell, if there are no accidents, I will leave tomorrow."

"..."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, the expression on Jay Chou's face was first stiff, then stunned, and finally moved.

Although he had roughly guessed why the other party came here before.

But when I heard Xu Xin say that he would come and take a look, and that he would leave tomorrow, I was still moved a lot in my heart.

But he didn't express it.

He just waited for the car to stop, opened the door and got out of the car.

The driver didn't follow, so the three of them walked down together.

"What floor is it?"

In the elevator, Xu Xin asked.

"16 and 17 are mine."

"...It's ok, I've made money."

"Ha~ The first floor is mine, and the first floor is mother's."

After pressing the 16th floor, Jay Chou suddenly felt something was wrong...Looking around:

"Don't you have any luggage?"

"No. We went camping yesterday, and today we returned to the city, so I left her here alone."

"..."

After being silent for a while, Jay Chou nodded:

"What do you want to eat tonight? Dani, book a restaurant..."

"Come on, you still dare to show your face?"

Xu Xin shook his head directly:

"I just came to see you. I also had an airplane meal on the plane just now. Just order a takeaway, keep a low profile. I'm here to chat with you, not to gossip with you."

"...Please, what are the rumors about the two men?"

"Who knows. Aren't your paparazzi extremely crazy?"

"..."

While speaking, the elevator reached the 16th floor.

Dani quickly ran out and opened the door, and Xu Xin saw a high-ceilinged hall that looked like a "film and television drama" style under the modern decoration of a hotel lobby.

To be honest, the decoration is quite luxurious.The most eye-catching thing may be the red wine on the background wall.

It's a pity that Xu Xin didn't think about it.

Stepping on the guest slippers, he ran directly to the sofa.

Leaning back on the comfortable sofa, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"...You look tired? Dani, take two bottles of water, and then go to Seradino to buy some food and come back."

"Ok."

Dani agreed, and Xu Xin suddenly yelled:
"Dani, ask me if I can fly directly to Yanjing or somewhere when I go back. I don't have a pass, I only have a passport. See what the process is and so on, so I can prepare in advance."

"...How did you get here without a pass?"

Jay Chou was a little puzzled.

"Going around in a circle... you can ask for me."

Although Dani also wondered how Brother Xu came here, she still responded:
"Okay. Then I'll order takeaway first."

"Ah."

As soon as the front foot entered the house, Dani went out again with the back foot.

There were only two people left in the house.

Xu Xin leaned on the sofa, glanced at the bustling Taipei in the evening outside the window, and heard Jay Chou ask:
"What to drink? Raphael? Mouton?"

"...Is there any tea?"

Xu Xin was speechless:

"The rule of hospitality here is that guests enter the door and drink directly?"

"No, but it looks like you are very tired... Frozen top oolong, okay?"

"Row."

"Let's go, go to the tea room..."

"Don't be so troublesome, just find me a big cup, just grab a handful of tea and put it in."

"...Is that called drinking tea?"

"This is tea."

Xu Xin nodded.

Jay Chou was a little speechless, but obediently ran to the open kitchen to make it.

Then he helped him get an ashtray from the cabinet.

Then I heard Xu Xin say:
"You said that if your fans find out that you served a man tea and smoked after you came home...would I have to be scolded to death?"

"Fuck, then do it yourself!"

Jay Chou couldn't laugh or cry, but Xu Xin laughed. After lighting a cigarette happily, he looked at him who was busy in the kitchen and asked:
"Have things changed?"

"..."

The action of catching water paused.

Jay Chou said without raising his head:
"No...you don't need to ask, she has already decided...hey, can you stop talking about this topic."

Maybe other people would have listened to him.

But the problem is...why should Xu Xinxin talk about this?

"That's why I came here... You have matched me and Mimi, can I still watch you two go our separate ways?"

"...we are different."

"What's the difference? ... Oh yes, you are more famous than me."

"That's too much, and I didn't say it like that."

"I haven't said anything more, how did you persuade me at the beginning? It's quite clear to persuade others... How come I can't figure it out here? Why can't I talk about it? When I was in Hengdian, I still thought about it one by one. Patty, love Patty...and it's only been two months, and everything has changed?"

While Xu Xin was speaking, Jay Chou was standing in front of the console to boil water.

Maybe it's because of the lighting problem?
Or something else.

Anyway, the expression on his face looked gloomy.

Then there was silence.

There was silence until Xu Xin finished smoking a cigarette.

Silent until the water boils.

Xu Xin didn't rush, and waited for a cup of tea to be served, and waited for him to drink again.

Finally, a cup of tea and a glass of red wine were placed on the coffee table.

And Jay Chou was sitting on that single sofa, staring at the red wine glass in a daze.

Xu Xin was a little impatient:
"Brother? What are you thinking? Talk!"

"..."

Jay Chou glanced at him...

Suddenly shook his head:

"I don't want to say it, but can you not force me?"

"..."

moment.

Xu Xin let out a long sigh:
"Ugh……"

Holding the teacup, he responded:
"Okay...Actually, I saw your news come out yesterday, and Mimi and I talked about it. You know what I mean, I'm here, in fact, I hope we can communicate, and then I I advise you to turn back..."

"..."

Looking at the expressionless Jay Chou, Xu Xin blew on the tea leaves on the cup, took a sip, and continued;
"But Mimi and I think exactly the opposite...According to what she said, it's too late for her friends to dote on her, so why go to other people and be wronged..."

"...Then you should let her come."

"Fuck off."

Xu Xin looked at the childish ghost who was snickering angrily:

"And then have an affair with you? Isn't that completely blown up?"

"Hey, she's just a friend. She knows how to support me at times like this."

"What the hell am I caring about you? I'm a dog!"

"Hahaha~ Hey, don't be like this, don't be like this, I'm joking... Let's go, let me show you my studio? My new album is out, do you want to listen to it?"

In fact, Xu Xin could see it through.

He is especially shy about talking to anyone about it.

So I tried my best to change the subject.

From this point of view, the girlfriend's words are correct.

At this time, no one should intervene in this matter, but leave the choice to the two of them.

But the problem is...Xu Xin really felt that he fell in love with Hou Peiqiao.

So think very simple.

Since you love him so much, don't give up on her.

This is what he thought before meeting Jay Chou.

But seeing his attitude now...Xu Xin couldn't bear it anymore.

Maybe what the girlfriend said at the beginning was right?
But as a friend... shouldn't we expect smooth sailing in the relationship between friends?Even if there are occasional twists and turns, you should help as a friend and push you out of the quagmire.

Isn't this what good friends should do?
But rationality told him that his girlfriend's choice seemed to be the right one.

This left him speechless...

Between good buddies, unless the other party is really not worth paying, what is the so-called... how do you say it?

Motorcycle girl?
Broken?

That's probably what it means.

Unless the other party is an idiot, otherwise...how can there be any reason not to persuade them to make peace?
Obviously like it so much...

But the truth is, Jay Chou didn't want to talk about this matter, and he didn't want to worry about him, so he tried his best to change the subject...

At this time, Xu Xin understood.

It's better for me not to be BB... If I stay with BB, I will feel uncomfortable, and he will feel even more uncomfortable.

So nodded:
"Okay...but isn't this a leak?"

"It's fart, let me show you how to count as a leak... My new album is on the 4th, remember to buy it and support it~"

"...I still have to buy it?"

Following him up and walking inside, Xu Xin was speechless:
"I spent more than 1 on air tickets today, isn't it worth giving me one?"

"...Then I'll give you the demo, okay? There are only five copies of the demo at the moment. One for me, one for Wenshan, and one for Brother Junrong. Send two to the record company, enough for friends, right?"

"What does DEMO mean?"

"Small sample, the most authentic sample."

"...a sample?"

"On the first recorded version, you can hear the singer's most authentic voice, and some differences from the official album. Many people like it. My demo of "Qilixiang" sold for 150 million Taiwan dollars at a charity auction last year! "

"...[-] yuan? Just buy...this?"

"..."

Listening to Xu Xin's obviously layman's words, Jay Chou was really speechless:

"Please, I'm very famous, okay? People ask me to give you a demo, but I won't give it to you. I want to give it to you. Take it back and put it at home..."

"Why? Offering incense and making offerings?"

"Come on! You are really..."

"Hahahaha~"

Seeing his distraught appearance, Xu Xin suddenly laughed out loud.

He grabbed his shoulders with both hands and kneaded them fiercely.

Without saying a word, he patted him on the back twice again.

"..."

Jay Chou was stunned...

Then the astonishment in his eyes turned into warmth:
"Ha~ let's go."

"Ah."

Holding the mobile phone, Xu Xin followed him into the music room where pianos, zithers and other musical instruments were placed.

He didn't know what these instruments were worth or not, and he didn't bother to ask. He just sat on an old-looking chair.

The posture is very casual, and Jay Chou's face turns green:

"Please! That's Dinu Lipatti's chair, can you be careful!"

"……Who?"

"Dinu Lipati."

"Who?"

"Romania's legendary pianist! If he hadn't died young, he would definitely be a legend in modern music history... and he is now!"

"Uh……"

Xu Xin lowered his head to look at this plain square chair:

"Modern? Died young? How many years?"

"1950."

"...I thought your reaction was 1550, not some antique."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:
"When you come to Yanjing, I'll invite you to sit in my house, okay? The furniture in my house is still from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a history of hundreds of years. If you like it, I will send it to you."

"..."

A sense of shame towards Niu playing the piano made Jay Chou ashamed to be with this guy, and he took a tape and put it in a tape recorder speechlessly.

Then, there was a sound of ding ding dong dong combined with the movement of the cello.

"What's this song called?"

"Chapter 7 of the Night."

"...What about the first six chapters?"

"..."

Although he knew that his friend was trying to make him happy, Jay Chou was still speechless for a while.

You are outrageous enough!

……

"I'll accompany you to the end, can you not look back..."

When Dani came back to find the two, the song was playing in the music room.

"Brother JAY, Brother Xu, it's time to eat."

"Ah."

Xu Xin nodded and pressed the pause button.

This "White Windmill" has been repeated three times.

It is Xu Xin's favorite song in Jay Chou's album "Still Fantasy".

Then, under Jay Chou's speechless gaze, he pulled him to listen three times.

During this period, I also asked him a sentence:

"Hey, have you ever heard a song called "Returning Your Mind", sung by the black dragon?"

Jay Chou was still curious at first, so he searched on the computer.

Then I was speechless...

Saliva song?

While I see what you mean...can you stop trying to "soften" me musically?

Speechless, he took out the DEMO and handed it to Xu Xin as a gift.

Then I heard Xu Xin ask:
"Just one box? You have released seven albums, right? What about the other six boxes? Will you give me a set?"

Really.

At this moment, Jay Chou felt that the other party regarded him as a big grievance.

But he still firmly took out six cassettes from the drawer.

"There are no more than five people in the world who own this!"

"Why are there five... including yourself?"

"Nonsense! My mother has a set, the company has a set...she has a set..."

"Is it worth money?"

"...How about you go back, okay? I thank you for coming to accompany me, but if this continues, I'm afraid I'll go crazy."

"Tsk."

Ignoring Jay Chou's painful expression, he went to the living room and drank the cup of bitter tea, then the three of them sat on the dining table in the open kitchen and had a takeaway meal.

To be honest, the taste is okay.

It's a pity that Xu Xin is not very hungry.

After eating, Jay Chou asked Dani to get off work.

There were only two people left in the room.

Since he realized that Jay Chou didn't want to talk about feelings, except for some jokes, Xu Xin didn't ask any further questions.

With two glasses of red wine, the two stood in front of the French windows on the balcony, admiring the bustling night scene in the distance in the hot Taipei night.

There are many things to talk about.

For example, Jay Chou asked Xu Xin if he wanted to stay a few more days and bring Xu Xin to meet some good friends.

Especially the kind that can be talked about.

For example, do you want to go to Longshan Temple...Xu Xin was quite puzzled why he went to the temple at night, but when Jay Chou said "Aren't you going to see the Betel Nut Xishi?" Xu Xin twitched regretfully Smoking:
"I have a girlfriend, I can only look at it, but I can't match it, it's boring."

Then bursts of laughter that men could understand came from the balcony.

Just like that, two bottles of red wine were unknowingly downed.

Jay Chou, whose face was slightly red from drinking, suddenly said:
"Hey, do you really think someone can travel through time and space?"

"..."

Xu Xin, who looked like a smoker when he drank too much, turned his head, glanced at him, and said in a slightly drunken voice:
"If so, when do you want to go back?"

"February 2 last year."

"……what?"

Seeing him tell the exact date, although Xu Xin knew the reason, he still asked.

Jay Chou drank the red wine in one gulp.

Smiling and shaking his head:

"Give me another choice, and I will definitely not go to Daikanyama that day."

"..."

Speechless.

Xu Xin sighed silently.

After thinking about it, he suddenly said:
"Hey, do you know... what Mimi said to me?"

"what?"

"She told me that one of her favorite directors said something like this: Life is the same as a movie, and the aftertaste determines the winner."

"Uh... makes sense~ so?"

"In fact, I sometimes wonder why there are movies in this world? They are all interpreted by real people...Why are people interested in the lives of each character? At first I didn't understand it. It's very boring."

"Then you still apply for a film major?"

"Because I was thinking about picking up girls... But recently, especially during the period from last year to this year, I suddenly figured it out. The reason why movies are liked and sought after by people... has never been the so-called seventh art or Why and so on. It is not a necessity of life. But the reason why it can reach such a height is because...it can create dreams. It can create a dream that temporarily makes you forget something in your heart, or temporarily makes up for your inner regrets. dream."

From the beginning when I heard the absurd reason that the other party only wanted to pick up girls, to the silence after the following paragraph.

Jay Chou has turned his head quietly.

Looking at the busy traffic in the other direction, he didn't say a word.

But Xu Xin continued:
"But sometimes... I think it's ridiculous. Because if I really judge the movie according to my concept, wouldn't the movie become a lie for people to escape from life? So... I think so. Movie This thing, just look at it. Including songs, music, paintings, etc., etc. It's too cowardly to pin your regrets on artwork or other things.

Far less than those lives that can be changed.Of course, if it really cannot be changed, it has already happened, and it has become a thing of the past, then you should pretend that I didn't say anything.But as long as there is still a glimmer of possibility... If you don't try, maybe cruelly extinguish the last sliver of luck in your heart, or feel the ecstasy of regaining it through your own efforts... It's far better than escaping.At least try hard, no fantasy, only regrets left. "

"..."

After Xu Xin finished speaking, he chose to shut up.

Silently lit another cigarette for himself.

That's how he drinks.

waste smoke.

I took three puffs of this cigarette, and it burned out because of talking.

While lighting a cigarette, Jay Chou suddenly said:
"Can you make it a little more obvious?"

"...haha~"

Xu Xin smiled.

With one foot on the chair, the hand holding the cigarette on the lap, watching the busy traffic below, suddenly began to hum a song:
"Give me another 2 minutes~let me freeze my memory~"

"Don't melt your tears~ How can I remember you are all over makeup~"

"Remember you forget me~ remember you forget me~~~"

"You said you would cry ~ not because you care..."

He hummed nondescript.

Jay Chou, who listened to music with a cleanliness obsession, was speechless:
"What broken song? Who sang it?"

"I don't know either... When I was with Mimi, it suddenly popped up in my head... Hey, why don't you try to adapt it for me, I also play a crossover or something."

"...Sing for Mimi, you are not suitable for singing."

"Is it really appropriate to say this from someone like you who can't even sing the lyrics?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes.

Jay Chou also rolled his eyes, seemed a little unconvinced, and suddenly got up:

"Wait."

Xu Xin didn't know why he was there.

At this moment, a gust of wind came from nowhere.

He is getting comfortable.

But soon, Jay Chou brought over a... sheet?Or a... very small keyboard.

It looks like a toy.

After walking over, put it on the table:
"Hey, hum again."

"what?"

"A chord for you."

"Uh...give me another 2 minutes..."

"Ding ding dong dong..."

After Xu Xin hummed again, Jay Chou nodded:
"I think 4/4 would be very appropriate~CAAD, 4333."

"...you speak human language."

"..."

Glancing angrily at the music idiot next to him, he pressed his finger on the electronic organ.

"Give me another 2 minutes~~~~"

"Let me tie my memories... la la~"

"Don't... la la la ~ la la la la la ~ la la la la la la ~"

"Don't you have absolute pitch? Why can't you even remember the lyrics?"

"Please, I have perfect pitch, but I'm not the strongest brain! This lyrics is so difficult to sing, how can I remember it all at once?"

Jay Chou was speechless, and then ignored Xu Xin.

I was playing the electronic organ ding-ding-dong-dong.

Xu Xin ignored him, took a puff of cigarettes and a puff of wine, the more he drank, the more he got richer.

Then suddenly I heard a sentence:
"Our beginning~dongdong~"

"...?"

He turned his head suspiciously.

Seeing Jay Chou staring straight at the keyboard, he started humming:
"It's a long movie~"

"Ding Ding~"

"Showed for three years~"

"Dong Dong~"

"The ending is only me..."

"Ding Ding~"

"I'm the only one left in the end~..."

"Dong Dong~"

"In the end, I... still survive~~~"

"Ding ding..."

"Forgot you?~"

"It's hard to forget you... I can't forget you again... Slowly forget you~~~"

"If you do it all over again...travel through time and space...time travel...would you choose to do it all over again~~~"

"Is love so precious if you don't speak~~~~~Give me another 2 minutes~~~Let me freeze my memory~Don't melt your tears and your makeup is gone~How do you want me to remember!"

"Remember you forgot me?"

"Just forget about me, please."

"You said you would cry~ no~~~~ because you care..."

For some reason, when he sang the last sentence, his voice chose to squeeze out directly from his throat.

There was a hoarse breaking sound.

But Xu Xin unconsciously got goosebumps.

He stared blankly at the friend holding the electronic piano in his hand, who seemed to be telling something with the help of this specious melody...

There was a sigh in my heart:
"Ugh……"

After a while...

"Do you have a laptop?"

"what?"

"Bring it."

"Do what?"

"You help me write the song, and I'll help you with the script. I'm going to sing this song to my girlfriend~"

"...Eh? Didn't you write for me?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Hearing this, Xu Xin couldn't help laughing:

"Then you promise me, no matter what, you will go to her again... No matter what the result is. If you promise, I will give it to you!"

"..."

Jay Chou fell silent again.

Seriously looking at Xu Xin who is full of expectations...

Only about ten seconds later, he walked into the room again.

He quickly took out an Apple notebook and put it in front of Xu Xin.

""The Unspeakable Secret" is inside."

"Well, my song is in your head."

Xu Xin didn't ask him whether he agreed or not.

Because he has already given the answer.
